Im New...Sublimation Advice Needed!!

I am considering taking on sublimation as an option to creating logos on my product.....one problem....i dont know if it will work on my medium.

I currently hand paint my logos. Production is increasing and I am looking for a process that will save time and allow me to grow. My medium is 3/4" thick birch finish grade plywood. Will sublimation work on this?????

Everything I have read says that the medium must be "poly" based. If transfering directly to the plywood is not an option could I possibly apply a "poly" based clear coat to the surface and then sublimate??

Just exploring options....Im tired of the ol paint brush.

If seeing my product will help you better understand you can check them out at www.bagdaddys.com. I am also open to any other suggestions that might work in lieu of my current process.

You'd probably want to look more into Color Laser Toner Transfer. For your needs, it would work better than the Dye Sublimation. On the Dye Sub, the material is special, on the CLTT, the paper is special, not the substrate.

I'd look at the Magic Touch http://www.themagictouch.com/ - you can use almost any color laser printer (the paper path does make a difference, but they have a list of the best printers on their site) regular toner, about any substrate, the only difference is the paper...

... You do need to be able to fit the substrate in a heat press though...
